Prayer: Experiencing Awe and Intimacy with God

Can't anyone teach me how to pray?"" Millions of people today are asking the same question. There is a sense of the necessity of prayer - we have to pray. But how?' Prayer is central to Christian faith; indeed, as Timothy Keller notes in his introduction, it is the main way we experience deep change. Yet so many people struggle with prayer - a struggle that the author himself has shared. This wise and inspiring book is the fruit of those struggles, offering a real and glorious vision of what it can mean to seek God in prayer.

Deep & Wide: Creating Churches Unchurched People Love to Attend

Nearly 2,000 years ago, Jesus started a movement that has grown like wildfire throughout the past 20 centuries. Author and pastor Andy Stanley brings to life from Scripture and over 25 years of pastoral experience the irresistible nature of this movement known as the Church. Stanley identifies some of the key decisions and strategies that helped the church begin by the power of the Holy Spirit many centuries ago and continues to flourish today.

Transformational Church: Creating a New Scorecard for Congregations

Churches committed to following Christ's example want this world changed for the sake of eternity. While the supernatural piece of making that happen goes without saying, how does a body of believers do its part to be in that "sweet spot" where true spiritual transformation occurs?

Alone With God: Rediscovering the Power and Passion of Prayer

Embrace the Lord's pattern for prayer. God longs for us to spend time with Him. Yet while His invitation is extravagant, too often we struggle to spend even brief moments with our Heavenly Father. For some, action has replaced prayer. For others, requests can take priority over relationship, as we try to mold God to our desires. How did the simple act of prayer become so complicated? Renowned pastor and author John MacArthur invites you to experience the art of prayer.

"Piratical and useful"

This is what you get when someone who is not just a consultant but a consumer of what he's teaching writes. This is one of the best books I've laid my hands on about the Church's lasting impact.

"Difficult but good "

Difficult at times to follow due to continueous sub-lists created throughout book. All good/valuable information, just it gets more difficult to listen to as opposed to having a physical book. Will probably not use audible for these types of books.

Also I found myself really feeling overwhelmed with the material. Kept thinking, "man our church so much to do". Will pass on info to leaders at my church. Carey - Thanks for this difficult but valuable information in your book.

"A Must read for all church leaders"

Lasting impact is grade A mentoring for pastoral leadership. The insights and principles Carey shares are the kind of specific helps that many church leaders are desperate to find. Not everyone has direct access to a great mentor who has "been there, done that" and can provide that kind of insight and instruction. Lasting impact makes top level church leadership knowledge available to anyone who is willing to read it. Thanks Carey, this was most helpful! (Brent Ingersoll/lead pastor/ Kings Valley Church)

"Thought provoking, practical and hopeful"

Narrated in a comforting, upbeat tone by the author, Lasting Impact thoroughly encouraged me to think creatively and practically about strategies for engaging people and how to implement those strategies. I loved the guidance on how to have important conversations as well as guidance on how to build a team capable of visioning and implementing change. The audio book has extras not in the printed versions, but I wish I had a hard copy so I can look up the sources and studies referenced in the text. Otherwise, this was a thoroughly uplifting and motivating listen.
